Gently channel your internal energy to your fingertips and flick it lightly.
The silver needle trembled...
Play it again!
After the silver needles gradually stopped vibrating, the patient's vital signs returned to normal.
Lin Li removed the silver needles and put them in the box. Looking at the large area of swollen skin, she took a deep breath.
The infection of the wound is more important; we need to develop a drug as soon as possible!
Where are Dr. Yu and the others?
"They are treating other seriously injured patients!"
Are they all burns?
"Most of them are, but this patient's condition is the most serious! It's so pitiful, she's only 22 years old. Even if she survives, she'll be left with this appearance..."
The nurse looked at the girl lying on the bed, her eyes reddening and tears rolling down her cheeks!
Lin Li did not answer, but silently walked to the library of B University Medical School and found classic books such as "Complete Collection of Ulcer Treatment", "Orthodox Manual of Surgery", and "Golden Mirror of Medicine" on the bookshelf.
She piled up the documents and books on the table, took out her notebook, and her fingers quickly flipped through the pages, her eyes eagerly searching for records related to burns and infections.
She then combined the medical books she had exchanged from the space with her own, and soon her notebook was filled with dense writing.
"Coptis chinensis clears heat and detoxifies, Phellodendron chinense dries dampness and astringes sores..." Lin Li read aloud, recording the medicinal herbs mentioned in the book in her notebook.
Suddenly, her finger stopped on a page of the "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces": "To treat burns, mix gardenia and rhubarb powder with egg white and apply it."
Her eyes lit up, but then she frowned—modern medicine has shown that egg whites can easily cause infections, so this recipe clearly needs to be improved.
As the sun began to set, three prescriptions were finally compiled.
"Give it a try!"
After putting the books and materials back in their original places, I headed towards the laboratory.
Before I even got halfway there, my stomach started growling.
Man is made of iron, food is made of steel! To be a doctor, you need a healthy body!
So she turned and walked towards the cafeteria!
After enjoying a hearty meal of three dishes and a soup, we headed to the laboratory.
To find the most suitable ratio of medicinal materials, we must have solid data for comparison.
She carefully weighed the medicinal herbs, each one precise to the millimeter.
When the frankincense was weighed, a strong resinous aroma filled the air, making her eyes sting.
She recalled that the Compendium of Materia Medica recorded frankincense as "promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, reducing swelling and promoting tissue regeneration," but in actual decoction, the stickiness of frankincense easily caused it to stick to the pot, affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
"Perhaps we can use wine to make frankincense?" Lin Li muttered to herself.
She found a small earthenware jar and, following the method recorded in ancient books, soaked frankincense in rice wine.
While waiting, she began to study the ratio of honeysuckle to forsythia.
Both of these herbs have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, but their proportions are different, and their effects are also different.
She consulted the materials repeatedly and listed more than a dozen possible combinations on paper.
When Professor Zhang arrived at work in the early morning, this was the scene he saw: Lin Li was asleep on the table, with a manuscript full of writing next to her, a notebook with charts of various medicinal herb ratios, and more than a dozen small porcelain bowls containing different medicinal liquids on the table.
Professor Zhang sighed softly and draped a coat over her shoulders, but accidentally bumped into a porcelain bowl.
The crisp cracking sound startled Lin Li awake. She looked up abruptly and saw that the spilled medicine was a blend of wine and frankincense. A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Lin, you can't push yourself like this," Professor Zhang said with concern. "However, your research on frankincense is on the right track. My master used to treat burns by saying that myrrh can disperse blood stasis and promote tissue regeneration, and the combination of frankincense and myrrh is even more effective."
Lin Li's eyes lit up instantly, and she pulled Professor Zhang aside to ask for more details.
Through Professor Zhang's explanation, she learned about the properties of myrrh and the differences when the two are used in different proportions.
Inspired, she immediately began to adjust the prescription.
I went back to the library and borrowed a large number of weekly publications on the chemical analysis of traditional Chinese medicine.
They kept conducting various drug efficacy experiments on mice.
Finally, after half a month, Lin Li finalized a relatively complete prescription.
She rationally combined heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs such as Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense, Scutellaria baicalensis, Lonicera japonica, and Forsythia suspensa, added Myrrh and Frankincense to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and supplemented it with Astragalus membranaceus to support the body and promote pus drainage.
To enhance the efficacy of the medicine, she also drew on folk remedies and added a small amount of Polygonum cuspidatum.
After organizing the experimental data from this period, bind them together and take the prescription and experimental data to Professor Zhang and Dr. Yu for review!
After quickly finishing reading, the two glanced at the mouse's condition, exchanged a look, and Professor Zhang nodded to her.
"I will submit this prescription and experimental data to the institute so that they can produce research results as soon as possible. I hope the drug can be developed quickly!"
"good!"
Lin Li took off the white coat she had been wearing for more than half a month.
She has been living in the lab most of the time and hasn't been home!
"Then I'll go back and rest for a bit. If there's any new progress, please let me know, Dr. Yu!"
"Okay, you should go back and rest now!"
Seeing the bloodshot in Lin Li's eyes, Professor Zhang recalled seeing her sleeping on the lab table recently.
She has exhausted all her efforts!
Feeling dizzy and disoriented, he returned to the courtyard house, left a message for Lin Laosan on the table in the living room, and then went back to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep!
I slept without any dreams!
When Lin Li opened her eyes again, she was a little dazed. After entering the space and drinking several large bowls of spiritual spring water, she felt her whole body regain its vitality.
As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw Lin Laosan practicing martial arts in the yard!
"Huh? Aren't you going to school today?"
"Mom, we've finished our final exams!"
"Huh? Are you done with the exam?"
Lin Li has been so busy in the lab lately that she's lost track of time!
"Yes, the exams were over last week, and Zhao Dachuan and the others went home for the Chinese New Year yesterday! They came to see you before they left, but they saw you were still asleep, so they left and said they would come to see you again when school starts!"
Lin Li nodded, and while brushing her teeth, asked Lin Laosan, "How long have I been asleep?"
"If you don't go to sleep soon, I'm going to go find Doctor Yu to take a look!"
Lin Laosan's eyes showed worry. "Mom, please don't push yourself like that next time. I'm really worried!"
Lin Li took a sip of water, spat out the foam, and smiled. "What are you worried about? You know how powerful I am. I've been drinking spiritual spring water every day lately, so there won't be any major problems!"
After hearing Lin Li's words, Lin Laosan's expression relaxed slightly!
"Mom, are you hungry? I've been keeping the food warm in the pot, just in case you wake up and are hungry!"
Upon hearing the word "food," Lin Li's stomach began to rumble.
"Bring it to me, I'm really hungry!"
Lin Laosan immediately brought the food that was still warm in the pot to the table, and sat down on a stool, resting his chin on his hand and grinning foolishly at Lin Li.
